Community Calendar

Tournament-style Scrabble. Players of all abilities are welcome.

Join hundreds of concerned Pennsylvanians virtually on Thursday, May 28 for Pennsylvania’s largest annual citizen lobby day for a cleaner future!

PennEnvironment’s staff will schedule virtual meetings with your state representative and senator, where you’ll be joined in the meetings by PennEnvironment’s expert advocates and other concerned citizens from your community. Each meeting takes about 30 minutes. We’ll discuss important policy proposals that will promote renewable energy and energy efficiency, and you’ll get the chance to share why climate action is important to you.

Join us for a free, two-part papermaking and visual journal workshop series designed specifically for seniors, led by teaching artist and art therapist Donna Fedak. This creative experience offers a welcoming space to explore hands-on artmaking while connecting with others in the community. Space is limited and advance registration is encouraged.

During the first session at the Allentown Art Museum, participants will create handmade paper.

In the second session at the Allentown Public Library, that paper will be transformed into a mixed-media visual journal. Extra handmade paper will be available for those unable to attend the first session.

Wildlands Conservancy’s Stream Team Volunteers – 2026!
Dates: Fridays, May 29 – Sept. 25, 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM at various locations – check out our website for more information.

If you’re ready to go with the flow, join us as we maintain vegetative areas along streams (riparian buffers) and help ensure the survival of young, native trees in the forest buffer. These vital areas improve water quality in local communities, reduce erosion and flooding concerns, and provide habitat for wildlife.

Repairing vegetative streamside areas, also called riparian buffers, is a science-based method to:
• Improving water quality by reducing pollutants entering waterways through runoff, providing clean drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people in local communities.
• Restoring habitat for fish and native birds by planting native vegetation that provides sustenance and cools the water temperature.
• Reducing flooding downstream.
Stream Team is an act of environmental stewardship, which is our guiding principle to protecting and restoring our critical waterways that are the lifeblood of the Lehigh Valley and Lehigh River.

Stream Team is a great volunteer opportunity for individuals, college students, and community groups. Volunteers are encouraged to register for multiple dates and locations at: https://www.wildlandspa.org/streamteam/.
